I was just doing some reading on Fluorite "glass" and came upon this little scope.

It now appears as if there is more than one inexpensive "Fluorite APO objective" spotting scope on the market. This one appears more compact and lighter in weight than the Celestron. I wonder how the optical performance will be?
There has been some discussion about Kruger Optical (makers of the Columbia optics) over in the binocular forum. The binocular equivalent of this scope won't be available for a month or so. I am guessing the scope won't be ready until then either. Hopefully I can find out.
Thoughts on the scope?
